Masking Tape Roads - Indoor Play

A glorious heat wave, and the threat of a thunderstorm, has us playing inside, today. I'm ready though, with a plan, and about three dollars worth inexpensive masking tape (this is not a project for the Man of the House's supply of good quality tape).

Before the children got up this morning, I made a modest, masking tape road, with a small, construction paper park, for one of our Popsicle stick houses...


...using a couple Hot Wheel type cars to gauge the width.


After breakfast, I turned the tape, and construction plans, over to the children. We now have an entire neighborhood in the living room, and a road, that not only heads down the stairs...


...and into the family room...


...but loops back around...


...and crisscrosses...


...before climbing back up the stairs...


...and veering off to a tissue paper sea.




With two rolls of tape left, I think it's safe to predict long road delays, and busy children, for the rest of the day.

It's great to be a homeschooler.
